Scotty McCreery will perform ‘Water Tower Town’ on ‘American Idol’ Thursday night (March 29), just hours after the track from ‘Clear as Day’ becomes the North Carolina singer’s third single. Thus far, his radio catalog has behaved like Grandma’s famous green bean casserole — great on Sunday, pretty good the day after, but by the third helping you’re ready to try a new flavor.
March 23, 2012 Perhaps you've heard us play this song on B105. We'd love your thoughts on this newcomer as her new song climbs up the country chart. Personally, I think the odds are against her because of her hideous appearance. Seriously, check it out and tell us what you think!
March 19, 2012 Ok, so it's been out for a while now, but I finally went out and bought his new album Chief. It's a pretty damn good album. He's one of the few artists that I follow and look forward to their music
Luke Bryan‘s new EP ‘Spring Break 4 … Suntan City’ is like a good speed boat. Owning one is pretty cool, but borrowing your buddy’s whenever you need it is even better.
There’s an opening in country music for a band with fist-tight harmonies. Edens Edge introduced their sound with ‘Amen’ in 2011, and the Top 20 hit turned into three of the year’s better minutes of radio. Their follow-up is just as satisfying. There’s no denying the perfect fit of these three vocalists.
March 14, 2012 The other morning, Cathy and I were talking about how bad the bachelor was, and how silly it could be.
Is this stuff all made up for ratings? On the view the other day, Barbara Walters went off about the bachelor. She also had some statistics to back up her bark. Check it out after the jump.
After an accidental hit with ‘Red Solo Cup,’ Toby Keith returns to his regularly scheduled programming with a new song, ‘Beers Ago.’ The cut is another country rocker with Keith playing the role of story teller.
The lead single from Jerrod Niemann‘s second studio album on Arista Nashville travels a road fans of ‘Judge Jerrod and the Hung Jury’ are familiar with. ‘Shinin’ on Me’ buries hurt with a few smiles and a positive attitude.
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert lend a hand in co-producing ‘XII,’ Neal McCoy‘s first album in almost seven years. The superstar country couple’s fingerprints cover almost every track. At times, it even sounds like Shelton singing.
The Dirt Drifters‘ rootsy new single ‘There She Goes’ immediately separates itself from the mainstream of country music without alienating or offending. The five piece band rely heavily on background vocals in a way no one has tried recently.
Craig Morgan‘s discography includes songs as wild and redneck as ‘Bonfire’ and ‘International Harvester,’ and as sobering as ‘Almost Home’ and ‘Tough.’ On his new album ‘This Ole Boy,’ the singer never reaches those extremes, turning in his most centered project to date.
